Does running alongside thousands of others in a marathon wear you out or intimidate you? If you would like to be challenged in a stunning race with only 499 other people, then Crater Lake Rim Runs is going to be perfect for you! You can choose between 6.7 miles, 13 miles, and traditional marathon length, but keep in mind this course will be a tough one. Run along the rim in Crater Lake National Park, your path will vary in elevation from 5,980 to 7,850 feet above sea level. The trail will be rocky and the hills will be steep, but the views will be spectacular. It will be a refreshing and exciting adventure, with the crystal blue water shimmering with the reflection of evergreens that fill your nostrils with their fragrant aroma. Difficult but magical things are said to happen here!
